Study summary

Dizziness (BPPV) causes severe deterioration in quality of life, incoordination, and instability.

In the study, we selected a minimum of 100 patients with BPPV who were examined after specialist care. After the acute phase, a physical survey is performed where movement and coordination are examined.

After the results, the patients undergo a rehabilitation training. The workout is submaximal and high intensity that is done for 3 weeks.

Hypothesis: As a result of training, it is possible that the remaining feeling of dizziness and insecurity, impaired coordination will decrease or disappear.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    BPPV intervention

    After examination of the patients, the patients undergo neurorehabilitation. We use virtual reality therapy. Patients perform a submaximal load that is monitored by a polar clock. We develop endurance, coordination, sensory integration, visual and acoustic input, vestibular training, proprioception training.

    Behavioral: Neurorehabilitation

  • Experimental
    BPPV Epley

    Only Epley training.

    Behavioral: Neurorehabilitation

  • Experimental
    BPPV Optocinetic

    Only Optocinetic training.

    Behavioral: Neurorehabilitation

Interventions

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. EQ5D-5L

    Quality of life testing is taken with a test. The therapist scores the answers to the questions asked on a scale. The end result determines the quality of life.

    Time frame: 5 weeks

  2. Beam Walking test

    The patient walks on slats of varying width. During the examination, the therapist says the tasks (Eg: counting backwards). The study detects the determination of dynamic equilibrium.

    Time frame: 5 weeks

  3. Posturography

    Noninvasive intervention where static equilibrium is examined. The program determines the quality and frequency of the displacements.

    Time frame: 5 weeks
